THE opening article In the Century for
November is on "The Home and Haunts OF
Washington" which is especially interes;-
ing Just at this time owing to the organiza-
tion Of the Mount Vernon avenue move
ment. The Century article is profusely II.
lustrated with cuts representing scenes IN
Alexandria and at Mount Vernon, and thus
The attention OF the entire country is called
10 almost every inch OF the very ground
over which the proposed avenue Is to pass.
'rhe Century seems to have had happy
foresight OF the appropriateness OF things
in so charmingly introducing this sub
ject to the country. The immediate
effect will be the sending OF
thousands Of new visitors to Alexandria,
where Washington spent SO much OF the
latter part OF his life, and where there are
so many interesting relics to be forever
treasured in his memory, as well as to
Mount Vernon. We hope to see ere au-
other year shall pass the beginning and
substantial progress of the most beautiful
national roadway in the world, extending
from the city Of Washington to Mount
Vernon. This roadway will be crowded
with objects and scenory with which Wash
ington was familiar in his every day life,
enc to traycl over 1t will be pilgrimage OF
uubroken pleasure.

TEN DOLLARS.

It is perfectly safe to say |
that we show more styles
of mems suits and over
coats at Ten Dollars each
than any three clothing
houses in town, and its put
ting it very mildly when
we say we are offering
better values for that
amount, by from ten to
twenty-five per cent, than
the "seuib" clothiers who
claim the earth (but whose
"title" is not good can
show. The ten-dollar busi-
ness suits we offer are cut
over the same patterns
and will, therefore, fit as
well-as our most expen-
sive suits. They are well
and honestly made, and we
guarantee the wear and SER
vice Of each and every one
we sell; they come both in
sack and cutaway styles,
and in plain and fancy pat
terns-Cheviots and Cassi-
meres.
Our Ten Dollar Over
coats include plain and
fancy heavy weight cassl-
meres, black and brown
beavers, smooth and rough
surfaced. Cut en- proper
principles, will always fit,
and they come in every size
from SO to Al breast meas
ure. We manufacture
10 ost of these goods our
selves. but whenever we see
a "drive," land SPOT cash is
the consideration, Well buy
every time.
Remember OUR Ten
Dollar Suits and Over
coats are the same price to
the expert and the mex
perienoed.

Adopting the Bad, Refusing the Good

The monometalsts are the worst enemies
the producers of this country have, as the
free traders are the worst enemies to the
artisans and workingmen. The antl-silver
conspiracy was organized by English cApi-
talists in 1870, and the Americans Of that
class were easily shown the advantages OF
the single standard for money, and Joined
In the effort to demonetize silver.
Since that conspiracy was entered into the
exports Of wheat from India have grown
from 140, 900 bushels q year to 45,0OO,0O0
The export Of cotton from India is increas-
ing with marvellous rapidity again at the
present extreme depression In silver, being
about as per cent larger in 1897 than in
1856. This extraordinary thrush Of Indian
cotton 1t is, which, on three successive
American crops below average, has kept
European markets full Of cotton an !
American prices exceedingly low.
This administration belongs to both these
| dangerous classes; 1t believes In and is
| willing to adopt the English single gold
standard aud the English system of free
trade, both OF W ich ere ruinous to the
interests Of this country, but refuses to be
| lieve and adopt the English system OF
| bounties and subsidies by which that nation
has built up its great foreign commerce.

TIE time for talking in the Virginia
campaign is over. The time TO work has
arrived. Every Republican should not
only be ready himself to vote for all the Re
publican candidates, but use every argu-
ment 10 induce his friends aud neighbors to
do so. All are important, but the members
OF the general assembly especially so. They
have United States senator to elect. The
political complexion OF the Senate may be
settled by the Virginia election. Every
Republican should vote, and at the same
time guard the bsllot.boXes from fraud and
the voters from bribery. II any man com

ALBAueH's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.


The presentation OF Tom Taylor's play OF
"Mary Warner" took place last night, and
will be repeated tonight. The piece Is an
old-fashicned English drama which the play
goers OF to-day have grown away from. The
plot Is good and well delineated in rather
verbose dialogue; but II vs. devoid OF that rap.
idity OF action demanded OF tho successful
play of to-day. Miss Claxtou can get some
thing better. As Mary Warner she acted with
creditable caution in the. emotional scenes,

party is directly and absolutely responsible.
with the single exception OF on Congress
the Democratic party has held possession OF
the governments purse siuce 1873, and Its
obstructionists OF the Randall-lIolmau
order have refused any money to provide a
means Of defense.
The reason alleged by these false econ
omists was tho unwillingness to trust Re-
publican officials to dlsburse the money,
but In the last Congress, when q Repub-
llcsn Senate appropriated an immense SUN
for Democratic officials to expend in the
work of preparing for Defense these cheese
pairing economists cut the appropriations
down, although the treasury was overflow
ing with money.

gress will display both more sense aud
patriotism than the forty.ninth did.

EXPORT BONDS.
Trouble Over Procuring Cancellation
in New York,


in New York,
The commissioner OF customs annual
report, submitted to the Secretary OF the
Treasury yesterday, shows that during the
past fiscal year accounts were examined III
his Office involving S2lS,6l9,39l in receipts
and S23, ,79G,762 in disbursements. The
commissioner says that there seems TO be
trouble at the port of New York In procur.
ing the cancellation Of export bonds, owing
mainly to the indifference OF ex 1orters and
sureties. This state OF affairs, he says, is
doubtless due TO the fact that no suits are
brought on these bonds, and also because OF
belief that there can be no recovery on such
bonds unless special damage be shown. He
recommends that q trial suit be instituted
to establish the validity Of the law relating
to the cancellation OF export bonds, aud
suggests that, in case the present law eau
not be enforced, II might be well to con-
slider whether statute OF limitations as TO
such bonds might not be passed, requiring
at the expiration say Of three years from the
| date of the bond that the cancellation Of II
| should be made by the collector OF customs
| in the absence Of auy evidence of special
damage 10 the government.
